Driven

Fantastic experience: I came back to learning to drive in my 40's after having unsuccessful attempts with many driving instructors in my early 20's and i wish i had learnt with Driven back then. You can tell that this driving school cares about it's Pupils and Instructors. Every interaction i had with Driven from booking my first lesson to passing was positive and they were so helpful and friendly- thank you particularly to April you were amazing. I learnt with Max he is an excellent instructor, he is very patient and teaches you how to really drive; not just pass a test. You are never too old to learn to drive! And i encourage anyone who thinks they can't do it to give it a try. A big thank you to Max and everyone at Driven.

Fantastic experience: I have been learning to drive with Driven for the last few months and passed first time today. When I started with them I had just had a really bad experience with another driving instructor, but Dean's teaching style immediately put me at ease, and he always prioritised learning to drive in a safe and secure way - which was good for me as I was pretty nervous to begin with! I passed my driving test at the first attempt thanks to him, and can't thank him enough for his patience, time, and humour throughout the process. I can't recommend Driven highly enough to anyone living in Beeston or the wider Nottingham area.

Negative experience: I had my first two-hour lesson with a man named Dean, who claimed to be the owner of the place. Unfortunately, his attitude towards me changed after I told him how I came to this country and that I wasn’t born here. During the lesson, he made several inappropriate comments, including: • “Did you think you were coming to this country for milk and honey?” • “If you respect me, I will respect you; otherwise, I don’t mind shooting someone in the head.” While he was saying these things, I tried to stay calm, avoid an argument, and be polite. Despite this, he attempted to act professionally and treat me fairly, but he couldn’t hide his racism when speaking about people like me. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend this place to foreigners.

Fantastic experience: I picked up driving from scratch, and my instructor Dean got me test ready in just over 6 months. Couldn’t have gone anywhere better, definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have had a few different driving instructors in the past and none of them were anywhere near as conscientious, enthusiastic, diligent, and helpful as Max. I never in my wildest of dreams thought I could do a test, pass and get zero minors. I count myself very lucky to have found instructor like him and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for all of your help Max. Nick
